[Yum] Yum Update IOError

[hughgs at duke.edu]

I run yum every night using cron.  It's worked for years with my current
configuration, but last night I received an error:

==============================================
/etc/cron.daily/yum.cron:

I cleaned all the headers using yum clean headers and then ran yum update:

So, yum is able to get some updates, but not others.  I looked around a
bit more and found the reference to the kernel-source in my
updates/header.info file so assumably that's why it's looking for that
particular file.  And it seems that the kernel-source file is not on the
web site.  So, there seems to be a disconnect between the header file and
the repository but I don't understand how it happened or what needs to be
done to fix it.  Any ideas would be welcomed.
